Student-Athletes pitching in to “Make a Change” and support VCU Massey Cancer Center

Nov 26, 2012

RICHMOND, Va.- Spare change is everywhere. In pockets of old coats,
filling up the cup holders in our cars, random jars around the
house are filled with nickels and dimes.

This week, the 270-plus student-athletes that make up VCU
Athletics are coming together to “Make a Change” and
support the VCU Massey Cancer Center. Student-athletes will be in
the Student Commons on Friday, Nov.30 from 11:30 a.m.- 3 p.m.,
collecting spare change to go to the VCU Massey Cancer Center.

“This event is a great opportunity for VCU
student-athletes to demonstrate their commitment to the University
and the community as a whole,” Director of Student-Athlete
Development Bo Greenwood said. “The student-athletes are able
to spend time on campus helping to increase school spirit, while
raising money to donate to VCU Massey Cancer Center. It's a
great indication of how engaged VCU student-athletes are and also
demonstrates the importance of being an active member of the
University community.”

In addition to the spare change, students and members of the
community can exchange old t-shirts from another college or
university for a brand new VCU t-shirt, while supplies last! All
the donated t-shirts will be donated back to local charities.

On top of all that, students who drop by with some spare change
or a t-shirt donation will receive FREE Waffle House while supplies
last!

So make a difference by “Meeting the Rams and Making a
Change” on Friday, Nov. 30 at the Student Commons from 11:30
a.m. – 3 p.m.
